A searing examination of the complex, empowering, and infuriating experience of a black actor auditioning for the part of Othello. Who is allowed to love and play Shakespeare?

“A witty, passionate, furious, and movingly intimate record of an African-American actor’s often unrequited love for Shakespeare.” New York Review of Books

“Slashes so precisely that you may not see Shakespeare—and a lot of roles played by black performers—quite the same way for a while.” Washington Post

This reading is a part of ISC Santa Fe's:
